The blurb begins by outlining the combat system. “The battles featured in Final Fantasy XV have evolved greatly from the previous games of the series, as it’s created as an action game,” reads the text, as translated by DualShockers. “The game switches seamlessly from the field to battle, and the combat situation evolves rapidly. It goes on quickly with a sense of full realism.” We’re not sure that giant demons are overly realistic, but we get what the company means.

The documentation adds that you can fight as multiple warriors, and not just the impossibly well groomed protagonist, Noctis. “It’s possible to switch to other characters,” the content continues. “Furthermore, it’s also possible to perform a combination attack with a companion while enjoying the dynamic effect.” There’s a good chance that we’ve already seen one of these combos, as last year’s trailer showed the hero teaming up with a gun-toting accomplice to take down a foe.

Stylish action? That's how Devil May Cry defined its genre, back in the days.And i can actually see some common grounds, here.I'm replaying X/X-2 on my Vita, these days, and i was just thinking how good is to have some turn based combat, once in a while.Still, XV seems outrageously good.

Im more of a traditional turn-based RPG guy myself. The more I hear of FFXV, the more it starts to sound like an action/adventure style is in play A change of pace isnt always a bad thing, but look at the likes of Resident Evil when Capcom revamped the series & went down the 'action' route. I dunno. My interest continues to wane though.

This year alone Squeenix produced an amazing FF:a realm reborn, delightful Bravely Default and the superb hd-remake combo of FFX/FFX-2. If they can repeat the same quality, minute details and proper testing/feedback then i reckon Ff15 like the other 3 games mentioned should make it a stellar blockbuster! !

@bbq_boy : it may be too early to say it, but since they ditched Yoichi Wada ( who was president/ CEO during this long SE dark age) Square Enix started making steps in the right direction. Also, Naoki Yoshida (the man who transformed an atrocity in an awesome and unique MMORPG, FF XIV) is my new hero. My fingers are crossed, but i'm starting to feel a glimpse of hope fo SE future. Even considering their despicable mobile outings.

Well said. I'm also playing FFX HD on Vita right now (just beat Yunalesca, WOW is she hard btw), and I also very much enjoy the turn based combat. I'm a little worried seeing Final Fantasy go all out real-time action, but at the same time, how could I NOT be excited for FF15, ya know?

Alls I know is, between Final Fantasy 15 and Xenoblade 2, I might ignore every other game released for many, many, many months.

Finaly , this will be the first final fantasy i ever own!!! My gaming Ora revolves around action and excitement!!! XD Aswell as a good story to go along with all that action!!!=) i have a feeling that this will be the true demonstration of how final fantasy should have been played all the years!!!
